Developers

Project developers seek third party equity and debt financing to leverage their own internal resources, use tax incentives, improve project equity returns, and to save their own capital on project development. Some developers sell their projects outright; others want to keep an ongoing ownership stake. Developers should choose financing structures consistent with their project ownership strategies and financial strength.

Federal and state governments offer financial incentives to encourage renewable power projects. Developers need to target those incentives that make sense for their own projects.
